Dancing has been a passion for a long time and, the word dance makes me the happiest person ever.
When I was 6 years old, I had requested my mom to admit me to a dance school. My mother tells me how I kept on dancing when I was a toddler.
Dancing has been a passion for a long time, and the word dance makes me the happiest person ever. From my very first classical steps at age 6 to learning Western styles as an adult, every phase of this 18-year journey has shaped who I am both as a dancer and as a person.
Being part of Twist N Turns as both a learner and an instructor is a dream I didn’t know I had until it became my reality. The studio’s warm, encouraging environment reminds me every day that dance truly is for everyone — at every age and every level.
So I started my journey with the classical dance form, Kathak Bharat Natyam and Rabindra nritya. I continued for 10 years, and I’ll always be grateful to my Guruji for making my base stronger.
Later I joined a dance troupe to learn Western dance form and started with Bollyhop.
From 6 to 24…these18 years of dance have given me so much.
Currently, I am a trainee and also employed as an instructor at Twist N Turns Dance Institute. And I’m obliged to the instructors who are helping me with the various dance from.
